From 1970 to <br />1980, the number of persons per d~elling uniC dropped from 3.11 to 3.0&, a <br />drop of 2.31. From 1980 to 1985, the number of persona per dwelling unit has <br />increased from 3.04 to 3.17, an increase of &.32. During this period, the <br />California Department of Finance estimated that the City's population <br />increased from 204,001 to 221,800, an increase of 17,799 people of 8.7I. The <br />simple increase in persons per unit of &.3I would account for an increase of <br />8,772 people over this time period. During this same period, the Santa Ann <br />Unified School District's total enrollment increased from 28,708 for 1979-80 <br />to 35,265 for 1984-85, an increase of 22.8I, or nearly three times the <br />increase for the general population for that period, <br /> <br />Figure & compares the srowth for City population, housing, and Santa Ann <br />Unified School District enrollment using 1980 as a bane year to vhich all <br />figures ore adjusted, Thio figure clearly shows the growth in school district <br />enrollment dramatically higher than the rate of grot;th in either housing or <br />general population of the City. In addition, the figure shows a significant <br />change from a previous flat enrollment trend to s current rapid growth trend. <br /> <br />Clearly the increase in enrollment in the school district during this period <br />resulted from factors other than ney construction or even s general increase <br />in population in the City from increased utilization of the housing stock. <br />Other factors such as changes in family formation, changes in racial and <br />ethnic balance and other factors have played a role in Chis increase. <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br /> <br />
